You could also call this:

"A list of fish farmers and their details, kept by the government for the public to see."

Illustration for Fisheries Act 1996

The chief executive must keep a Fish Farmer Register. You can think of the register as a list of information about fish farmers. The register can be kept on a computer and can be combined with other lists that the chief executive is required to keep. The Crown owns all the information in the register. The chief executive must tell the public where the register is kept and when it is open for people to look at it. The chief executive can make rules about how the register works, including how information is sent electronically, as stated in section 297.
